nice idea!!, the lower inlet looks nice polished, hmmm must take 16v off road for a few days and get it done, will look a bit pants if i put the rocker and top inlet on being all shiney and that and leave the lower looking furry!!, shame i aint got a spare lower, would save alot of time!

the hardest bit about doing these is trying to flat down the 'grain' from the castings, GavG60 started  to do this on one of the legs, i prepped a bit then just left em rotating for 6hrs, there not mirror/mirror polished as some of the grain is near impossible to remove but there good enough to tart the under bonnet view of my 16v!!
